LOW POWER QUAD OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIERS

Description

The AS324/324A consist of four independent, high gain and internally

frequency compensated operational amplifiers. They are specifically

designed to operate from a single power supply. Operation from split

power supplies is also possible and the low power supply current

drain is independent of the magnitude of the power supply voltage.

Typical applications include transducer amplifiers, DC gain blocks and

most conventional operational amplifier circuits.

The AS324/324A series are compatible with industry standard 324.

The AS324A has more stringent input offset voltage than AS324.

The AS324 is available in SOIC-14, DIP-14 and TSSOP-14

packages, and the AS324A is available in SOIC-14 package.

Features

Internally Frequency Compensated for Unity Gain

Large Voltage Gain: 100dB (Typical)

Low Input Bias Current: 20nA (Typical)

Low Input Offset Voltage: 2mV (Typical)

Low Supply Current: 0.5mA (Typical)

Wide Power Supply Voltage Range:

Single Supply: 3V to 36V

Dual Supplies: ±1.5V to ±18V

Input Common Mode Voltage Range Includes Ground

Large Output Voltage Swing: 0V to VCC -1.5V

Power Drain Suitable for Battery Operation

VCC = 5V, GND = 0V, unless otherwise specified.)

Notes: 2. Limits over the full temperature are guaranteed by design, but not tested in production.

3. The input common-mode voltage of either input signal voltage should not be allowed to go negatively by more than 0.3V (at +25oC). The upper end of the

common-mode voltage range is VCC -1.5V (at +25oC), but either or both inputs can go to +36V without damages, independent of the magnitude of the

VCC。
